Where We’ve Been – Where We’re Goin’

August 7, 2013

What is the Encinitas Rotary Home Team?

A group of Rotarians carrying out the Rotary mission of “service above self” by providing basic home repair and maintenance services to senior citizens living in Encinitas who are either physically or financially unable to do it themselves.

Yes Ms. Armstrong! This sounds like a job for the Encinitas Rotary Home Team. I’ll be out to take a look within the next couple of days.

What an awesome job that Home Team did!!!

Not sure about that guy with that southern drawl though?

I’ll definitely call the Home Team again!

Dear JIM and JERRY,

“I am so grateful for the help of the home team. I worked with contact Jim Wade who has a spectacular accent and homey expressions. The two doctors who came speedily painted my walkway, making it look new. They also worked on some other things. They are the two most practical and handy doctors I've ever met! I am sending a donation to be used by the Home Team for their work.”

Thank you,

Nancy Sommerville
